"To fit the Crosman 2240 2250 2260, This works by tensioning the hammer spring, added benefit if being able to change springs without dismantling the adjustment screw and locking band have a knurled finish" Works by tensioning the hammer spring? ... I don't get it. Does adding tension to the hammer spring transfer more power to the gun? Does it use more C02 in doing so? How do you know when you have it adjusted "right"? Or is it all just a matter of preference? ________ APPLEBEES GIFT CARDS Last edited by RatcatcherDino on Sat Mar 19, 2011 8:18 am; edited 1 time in total   Posted: Tue Aug 11, 2009 2:33 pm rsterne Moderator Joined: 15 Jan 2008 Posts: 2998 Location: Coalmont, BC Increasing hammer spring preload makes the hammer hit the valve stem harder, releasing more CO2.... in longer barrels, this usually gives more velocity.... in a 2240, it usually just makes more noise.... I find the biggest use for a velocity adjuster is to reduce the hammer strike and save CO2.... Bob _________________ Dominion Marksman Silver Shield - 5890 x 6000 in 1976, and downhill ever since!

Still ... if it's adjustable, it may be a nice option. ________ Pregnant Cumshot Last edited by RatcatcherDino on Sat Mar 19, 2011 8:19 am; edited 1 time in total   Posted: Tue Aug 11, 2009 2:47 pm rsterne Moderator Joined: 15 Jan 2008 Posts: 2998 Location: Coalmont, BC Here's more information you may find helpful: http://airgunhome.com/agforum/viewtopic.php?t=2651 In addition, I make them as well....
